Beyond The Wall Film Festival

Founded by an American MFA student who has been living in the UK for the past 6 years, BTW Fest seeks to provide a series of screenings exploring national and global identity through film.

BTW FEST will consist of a weekend showcasing shorts and independent cinema from filmmakers located all across the globe. Some of these films are political, some fun, and all are inventive and incredibly relevant to our turbulent modern times.

Taking place in September 2019 in Manchester, U.K. BTW will host a series of screenings and discussions with filmmakers, academics, and audience members.

Manchester is an incredibly diverse and global facing city, and we think it only appropriate to host this festival in a city that is so deeply involved with the questions we seek to explore.

While we’ve applied to several large arts funding bodies, getting funding as a masters student is no easy feat! That’s why we’re looking to you to help make this amazing festival dream a reality! These funds will help us secure the right to screen films, advertise, and pay for the travel and accommodation of speakers.

Thank you so much!!
